ISIS Is Taking Over Iraq Using Captured American Weapons

By Michael Snyder, on July 2nd, 2014

ISIS is marching through city after city in Iraq, and they are doing it with American weapons. Thanks to a series of stunning victories in recent months, ISIS has captured a vast array of U.S. military equipment including trucks, Humvees, rockets, artillery pieces and Stinger missiles. When the U.S. was pulling out of Iraq, we were extremely generous to the new Iraqi army. We basically armed them to the teeth with equipment that U.S. taxpayers paid for. But now that the new Iraqi army is folding like a 20 dollar suit in the face of ISIS jihadists, vast quantities of that military equipment are falling into the hands of some of the most radical jihadists the world has ever seen. And considering the fact that ISIS also recently seized the equivalent of nearly $500 million in cash from a bank in Mosul, the leadership of ISIS won’t be having much problem buying anything else that they might need either. ISIS is getting stronger with each passing day, and they are not going to be satisfied until the Iraqi government has been toppled. It is a geopolitical mess of epic proportions, and there don’t seem to be any easy solutions on the horizon.

To say that the new Iraqi army has been incompetent would be a massive understatement. Not only have they run away like scared kittens from these jihadists, they have also left behind staggering amounts of weaponry for them. According to the Los Angeles Times, ISIS has captured “the weapons stores of the 2nd and 3rd [Iraqi army] divisions in Mosul, the 4th division in Salah al Din, the 12th division in the areas near Kirkuk, and another division in Diyala”. And we aren’t just talking about rifles and ammunition. We are talking about some pretty impressive hardware…

Government forces retreated en masse from the onslaught, leaving behind a military hardware bonanza, including the U.S.-made armored Humvees as well as trucks, rockets, artillery pieces, rifles, ammunition, even a helicopter. Some of the seized materiel was old or otherwise non-functioning; but a lot was promptly put to use on the battlefield.

Pictures of grinning Islamist warriors cruising in U.S. Humvees bedecked with white-on-black militant flags flooded the Internet and became the signature image of the ISIS rampage.

As WND has documented, members of ISIS were actually trained by U.S. personnel at a secret base in Jordan back in 2012…

Members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, were trained in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan, according to informed Jordanian officials.

The officials said dozens of ISIS members were trained at the time as part of covert aid to the insurgents targeting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The officials said the training was not meant to be used for any future campaign in Iraq.

The Jordanian officials said all ISIS members who received U.S. training to fight in Syria were first vetted for any links to extremist groups like al-Qaida.

The revelations comes as the State Department acknowledged that ISIS has captured a stockpile of old chemical weapons at the Al Muthanna chemical weapons production complex as its fighters sweep through Iraq’s Sunni- controlled region.

The access to a sarin poison gas production facility, and the man with the expertise to operate it, is the result of a new alliance between the brutal jihadist fighters and Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, who was a top military commander and vice president to the deposed Saddam Hussein.

And the folks running ISIS are crazy enough to do just about anything. They are stone cold killers that will go to extreme lengths to advance their cause. If you are not very familiar with ISIS yet, the YouTube documentary posted below contains some footage from some of their recent triumphs…

Iraq is literally being torn to pieces by this conflict, and even young boys are getting swept up into the fighting.

It was a surprising sight. The customers standing in Haj Hamdoun’s store in central Mosul watched as a masked child came into the shop, bought what he wanted without saying a word and then left again, carrying a bag containing candies and milk in one hand and a heavy machine gun, which was just about as big as him, in the other.

This was Abdullah, who appears to be the city’s youngest volunteer with the Sunni extremist group, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS, that took control of Mosul over two weeks ago.

Abdullah is not yet 11 years old. But his older brother and his father, who was a senior member of ISIS, were killed in fighting between the group and Iraqi security forces in 2013. That’s why Abdullah joined ISIS, although he is far from the only child in its ranks.

Michael,
ISIS is overextending itself. They are an army of 10,000 people trying to control 40,000 square kilometers of land area. The Kurds, Iranians, Americans, and other groups are against them.
ISIS is oppressive not America. People do not get beheaded or have limbs cut off in America because they are of a different religion. I feel for the innocent people of Iraq.
On a side note I wanted to mention that the ADP report published today showed that 281,000 Private Sector jobs were added in June. Also pending home sales rose 6.1% in May. Also per the national debt clock the number of food stamp recipients is down to 45,540,053. If you recall the number of American on food stamps used to be over 47 million. The annual budget deficit is down to $567 billion dollars. America’s budget deficit used to be over $1.2 Trillion dollars. Also, QE has been reduced from $85 Billion dollars a month to $35 Billion dollars a month.
Finally, I did not like your piece about Hillary Clinton. She has gone through hard times. She is a strong brilliant woman who stood by Bill Clinton’s side even when the Lewinsky scandal broke. She has an IQ of 140. In my opinion she would make a strong leader.
I wish you pieces would point out the faults of the Republicans more. Also, your articles only point out what is bad about the economy. I think America’s economy is headed in the right direction.

You can’t be serious. President Zero has added $8 Trillion in new debt that future generations will have pay. What did we get in exchange for the $8 Trillion? Where are the living wage jobs President Zero promised?

TROLL. mainly part-time jobs, full time jobs actually decreased

Tatiana Covington

I would have forestalled all this by just not invading Iraq to start with.

There. Problem avoided.

As for ISIS… very well, let them fight and die for what they believe in (or are said to believe in). The more of them die, the better, in a self-applied final solution. Further, believing things does not make them true, and fighting for things does not prove them true.

The hard truth is that faith is not fact, emotions are not evidence, opinions are not objective, and belief is not proof.

Finally, all religion is delusional.

i just got back from that area at the end of may and i met some very wonderful families that are caught in the middle of this mess. one of my family members was recently killed by a bomb made out of a propane tank that was catapulted into his neighborhood by people he didn’t even know, as he was attempting to open his printing shop and trying to do business so he can raise his two daughters that are prisoners in their own home. yeah, let them all kill themselves, right? and take innocent, law abiding people just trying to raise families with them? that is not any coherent solution.

It was US who wants ISIS to control Iraq. ISIS are sunni militants. Shia not controlling Iraq is in the interest of US. Because if Iraq comes under Shia control then who region will be under their control ie Syria, Iran and others. Shia becoming powerful means Russia becoming powerful. US has warned Iran and Syria not to attack ISIS and also 500 US personnels are not their to help Iraq. This is US dirty game plan as always. World has lost lot of life because of US.

rat28

The US is playing with fire for siding with Sunni terrorist!!

Michael the U.S. knows where all those weapon depots are. So why did they not hit them with an airstrike, to deny the jihadists those weapons? Unless of course, we wanted them to have those weapons. We have been supplying some very crazy people, with weapons as of late. This is how far my trust in D.C. has fallen. I no longer put anything past them.

Mike Smithy

It is conceivable that all of this is contrived so that in due course, the USA can justify going into Syria? Let’s not forget that Qatar still wants to run the LPG pipeline through Syria pursuant to supplying the European market. The only way this will ever happen is for Assad to go. Follow the money and keep your eye on the ball. The western central banksters have a lot at stake here.

http://www.mindbodygreen.com Kim

I think you’re exactly right. And don’t forget about the Saudis. They’re in this up to their eyeballs as far as that pipeline u speak of is concerned. Yep, this is about oil and who has access to it. Recall the collapse of the duly elected pro-Russian president of Ukraine, Yanukvych- who was exiled to Russia by all those pro-EU Ukrainian protesters- and where did they come from and why? Yanukovych was pro-Russian and sought loans and bails outs as well as a promise of drastically reduced gas prices from Russia in exchange for establishing its own gas and oil agreement upon a extending a lease to the Russian navy in Ukrainian waters. The EU is suffering economic collapse and needs cheap oil and gas flow to continuously through the Ukraine and were opposed to any Ukrainian-Russian gas/oil treaty. This is essentially same thing that is happening in Syria re pro-Russian Assad. Coincidence? The problem is now, with all the EU-American meddling and Saudi sponsored fake uprising in Syria designed to depose Assad, is that it’s backfiring badly. It’s out of control now- talk about unintended consequences. In short, these conflicts surround the access and flow of cheap gas and/or oil and innocent people pay the price. This is where incredible greed and tragic misallocation of earths natural resources leads humankind, down a dark and miserable road. I wonder if some day we will look back and say it wasn’t worth it- all the nifty things that oil did for us so we wouldn’t have to, all the ill-gotten gain of the world’s corrupted political leaders . Was it worth it?

For the same reason we we did not even bomb the advanced secret C.I.A. spy drone!
President Obama was afraid that he might hurt an innocent civilian. doing that!
It also explains why he never did anything when we lost the secret stealth helicopter lost when we killed Osama ben laden.

The US is not interested in those weapons. Those who control the US government are interested in selling more weapons to the US taxpayer.

The biggest naivety of the American politicians is to think that they can bring democracy to the Islamic world.

I have to respectfully disagree. America gave up years ago trying to instill democracy around the world. That ‘idea’ is for public consumption. Now – it’s all about money, oil and with that the all important hegemony.

I was more thinking of missiles and smart bombs and fighters and bombers and helicopters. Maybe a $trillion$ per year. Plus a few young soldiers turned into heros and veterans.

http://www.mindbodygreen.com Kim

exactly right. the political leaders would like us to think this is a noble and worthy cause, democracy. eh…it’s about oil. i dare say Islam was once a decorous religion, seemingly dignified in some respects, not perfect. But now? it’s a form of religious mental illness totally out of control.

oil is a good thing, right? yes it is and we need it, but the money it brought fostered and brought to fruition every bad inclination of man one can think of– greed, corruption, divisions, war, murder…so on. as someone else here said, follow the money.

Gay Veteran

seth datta

Since the 80s, Amerika has been epxorting ‘democracy’ to bations in the form of bombs and war, then lying to the public about the real reason to fight these wars of attrition. Such wars did not benefit the people of teh US, only warmongers like Bush and Blair.

Politicians are the lowest form of life. The lowest of politicians are the liberals – Patton.

How are the ”conservatives” better? Orrin Hatch is in Washington District of Crime since 1974!!!! He has only conserved his wealth

esqualido

A real conservative is someone who is not liberal with other people’s money. They are few in number, but exist in either party: e.g. Ron Paul,who incidentally is a veteran not enamoured of war,, or even a Harry Truman( who retired to his very modest home in Missouri, unlike the recent crop of ex-Presidents who have used their office to pyramid their wealth thanks to $250,000/speech dinners (which smell more than a bit like compensation for services rendered)

Jeb

“Democracy” is mentioned nowhere by the Founding Fathers, and since they knew it existed – for they commented negatively of it elsewhere outside of America’s founding documents, it is obvious that they deliberately omitted identifying with it.

“A republic, if you can keep it.” — Benjamin Franklin

Today, the country that had purposefully omitted the word democracy by its founders, is justifying foreign wars on the argument of bringing democracy to the world.

Democracy is not a principle of America, but rather one of Marxism.

“Democracy is the road to Socialism.” — Karl Marx

Claiming Democracy is part of the American Way is as false as claiming Obamacare is part of the American Way.

Why isn’t the USA bringing The Rule of Law (a Republic) to the world instead of Democracy?

Ah… that’s right, because The Rule of Law says they don’t have a right to do such a thing! Funny how that works.

esqualido

It’s always in the name of democracy- as if a government intent on monitoring everyone’s phone calls and emails cared a whit about democracy. And how long has this been going on?- at least since 1917 when Woodrow Wilson got us into WWI “To make the world safe for democracy.”

tacoma

After the British left Iran 4 decades ago, the ruler turned to the USSR for military support. This is a no-no so the CIA installed the Shah of Iran loyal to the US, and the US supplied the Shah with billions worth of weapons, including top of the line fighter F-14 Tomcat. Business was good.

Then they disposed the Shah and business was bad. So the US supplied Iraq’s Saddam with weapons to fight Iran in a 10 year war. Business was good.

But then Saddam invaded Kuwait and the US found it a golden opportunity to supply the entire region with millions of tons of weapons to contain Saddam. Business was great.

With Saddam contained nobody was buying and business went sour. So the US invaded Iraq – the result was the biggest surge of weapon production and sales since WW2. Business was so amazingly great.

With Iraq armed to the teeth and no war, the US was worried. Fortunately, the ISIS came to the rescue by starting a civil war in Iraq. This is time to ramp up business again. Let this war continue for a long time and spread all over. The US needs it to maintain economic prosperity.

xander cross

Exactly and who are selling these weapons to them? I think people need to look at the movie IRON MAN again.

seth datta

Zbigniew Brzezinski (US) invented and trained Al-CIA-duh in the 1970s. There are pictures of him doing so, some on Google. The engineered conflicts we see are to install one world governance and destroy the (mostly white) western middle class.

bobcat

This is a conflict between ISIS, a group made up of Sunnis, B’athists, Al Qeada and some of Saddam’s former Republican guard, and the Shi-ites who are sponsored, at least, by Iran. Saddam may have been a despot but he didn’t like Al Qeada or Iran. Having disposed of Saddam, it is now those groups vying for control. Nature abhors a vacuum. As soon as we removed our garrison, civil war broke out and the map was redrawn.

Re: “ISIS Is Taking Over Iraq Using Captured American Weapons”

This fits the classic definition of “blowback” … and the law of unintended consequences.

El mico

All too convenient. Iraq wanted US completely out but US wanted to retain 4000ish troops to protect oil company assets. Now all this has happened and I can’t help but think this is a bit of a “see what happens when we leave” to Iraq government.

Alexander

Hi Micheal,
Those weapons were not captured from the US, they were given to them by the US, either directly or via Saudi Arabia or Qatar. There are no coincidences in this, it is ALL intentional and long-planned and working out as planned.

It is naive to think all these developments are unsuspected. Such wars needs lots of planning, thnking and training, in which the US, with in the background this little country in the Middle East that considers itself different (and superior), plays a major role, as the Major Domus-puppet of the corporate interests it has become enslaved by.

jox

I agree with you. ISIS has been armed and financed by US.

jaxon64

You are right Alexander–others here are partially right with many of their posts —but you nailed it.
Even the leader of this ISIL movement, al Baghdadi–was “imprisoned/trained/nurtured” in US bases for the past many years and then was set free to start and lead this.
We have systematically–Bush and BO both- undermined every functioning secular govt in the Mid-east and turned them over to the Jihadists–we knew who we were destroying, quaddafi, Hussein, Mumbarak, Assad, the yemeni leader ( forget his name) and leaving the leadership vacant for the most militant to rise to power.
The globalists think that communism, islam, socialists, etc etc..that they are all just useful tools–a means to an end…ultimately, they are quite genius in their machinations–they are actually pulling this off. Watch for attacks in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and then finally Israel if this movement is not stopped. Once the mideast has less small players/nations and only a few unified groups, then the globalists will make their play…interesting times. But these people behind the scenes are not stupid–this is playing out as planned far in advance-EXACTLY as intended.

K2

You are right michael, there is a larger geopolitical agenda at work here. I say this because

1) No bank (in a developing country) stores 500 million in its vaults even in peace time. So it is surprising that a bank did that in an area facing civil war. So if ISIS really got that money…it was meant for them.

2) The iraqi army is more in number, better trained and has better weapons. Yet it ran away ‘leaving’ their weapons? That too stinger misiles?That too enough to arm 200,000 soldiers? That is enough for an entire army of some countries. They couldnt take their weapons with them? The same way they bought them to battle? I doubt they ran away on foot.

3) And weapons depots are more heavily guarded. And if an army gets news that an advancing force is moving in, they disarm their depots and take their weapons to safer places. Esp weapons like armour piercing and missile launchers. Its not like the iraqi army had lesser manpower than ISIS. They infact have more more manpower, so they could have easily done this.

K2

They seem to be getting exactly what they need.

I dont believe US is deliberately doing this, but some other country could be behind it.

Joethecuckleburr

What we’re seeing in Eye-rack is democracy in action. People of ISIS, or IS, or what the f**kever, are voting with ACTUAL brutality and violent force, instead of THREAT and OCCAISIONAL violence as used against “We The People” at the hands of the USG, a la Ruby Ridge, Waco, OKC, 9/11, and, of course, the cowardly SWATs. I’m not condoning this form of “democracy”, but one must admit that when you vote with an AK or M16, your vote is most likely going to be counted. The civil war in E-rock is only more proof that religious beliefs and ethnicity will always trump lines and borders artificially drawn by hegemonic colonizers.
It may actually be a good thing that the USG is distributing MRAPS, Humvees, and other hardware around the American landscape. I’d like to see some M4s, FLIR, drones, and maybe some crew-served weapons, so that when ISIS makes basket boats out of reeds, like the baby Moses was placed in, and comes paddling over to invade our shores, we will be able to defend ourselves from them (Or from any other brutal, tyrannical government entity).

There is something wrong when a people arises to over throw the existing government of a country. Yet we have seen the same thing happen in Iran historically.
I think we are dealing with a puritan country not Christian but just as rigid in its belief system as the original puritans of this country.
This system is instilled in these people with daily reminders of 5 prayers a day to Mecca.
They have a rigid social system. The male of this system is on top all the time. Females are suppressed under this system but have a rigid jurisdiction of their own within the family unit.
Any kind of exposure of the skin is forbidden for females. They are under a system of rigid strict rules and basically they accept that system.
Along comes the liberalized society of the Europeans and the Americans. They expose the face of their females! They allow so many things in their females including dominance at a social level.
They have terrible movies with all kinds of moral wrongs.
They have laws of abortion!
Their entire society is dynamically opposed to everything that the Muslim belief system believes in. Anyone working with people from that system are outcasts by their way of thinking.

What I am showing you here is the view of an enemy of our people. They do not see it that way. They see Christianity as a corrupt system that has led to this morale wrong way of doing things and they do not want it in their society. The want to eliminate us as a contamination of their society.

But it is inevitable that such ideas would track into their houses just like someone with muddy boots. And I think that is why you see such a violent reaction that is causing a huge violent overthrow of the existing governments of the region.
If I am right, then their system shows an appeal to the Moslem world that will cause a reaction where ever Moslems exist around other cultures that do not have this rigid system going on.
The system is not only very violent and destructive of anyone that is not exactly like themselves, this system is one of conquest of anyone that does not believe as they do.
In a world of variety of religions, this means eventually going to war with the entire world. All of this, one step at a time.

This system puts anyone that is not Moslem on the social status of pet animal rather than human being. As such they feel no remorse in lying to these people. Nor do they expect them to be anything more than an animal slave in their system. To be disposed of when convenient.
They do have a vulnerability. That vulnerability is greed.
While they are making money from the “animals”, they tend to allow it to go on for a while.

Thus, the oil industry, where billions of dollars change hands with Moslems for the right to get oil from their territories. It was poorly researched by big oil, and now they are reaping the revolution that has occurred.
Their vulnerability is their worship of money.
In the meantime, they will have no problem with trying to ruin the American and European countries that are their best customers. That includes suicide bombers, nuclear bombs in our cities, any any other horror they can imagine.
Eventually, it will mean either them or us. And that is where they have really messed up.

She achieved no historic breakthrough and resolved none of the major issues that beset the world today. The US policy toward Russia looks like anything but a success. Ditto her policy toward Iran which continues it’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon. She did nothing to constrain North Korea’s ambition of ICBM’s. She hailed the election of Mohamed Morsi as Egypt’s President despite his affiliation with the Muslim brotherhood. His dictatorial administration routinely persecutes Coptic Christians and Jews. Her position on Libya turned out to be a catastrophe. Need I remind you that she was summoned before Congress to answer questions about the Benghazi consulate debacle, an egregious security breakdown on her watch that resulted in the murder of four US diplomatic personnel and subsequent cover-up. I could go on for hours, but I am resigned to state “WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE” because you are undoubtedly a “Kool- Aid drinker and no amount of evidence that I can illustrate will change your distorted and narrow minded view of reality.

One more reason to reduce dependency on oil. Build some green technology and sell it around the world to those poor people who still burn their money.

Start with it as long as material is still cheap and those people still have some money.

So we supply billions in weapons and training.
When will we be supplying them with nukes?

Mike Smithy

It is quite possible that the CIA has already covertly supplied them with small nuke so that it can be used on an American city as a sacrificial lamb. President Zero and his minions can feign their outrage and rally the sheeple to war. The trail of fabricated evidence will undoubtedly suggest that Syria, Russia or perhaps Iran was involved. I have no doubt that the western central banksters are calling the shots and they have several false flag scenarios to pick from. Take your pick: An EMP, dirty nuke an attack on the power grid just to name a few. As a result, the central banksters and politicians will be able to deflect culpability for the subsequent economic collapse.

Firstgarden

Well said. I think the idea of us providing a small nuke is far-fetched, altho possible. One thing I can predict with all certainty:

The times ahead will NOT be boring.

A few lessons from Iraq: 1) Islam and Democracy are incompatible (they do not understand the separation of State & Mosque), 2) when enemies are fighting, don’t intervene. Let ISIS and the current government slug it out. 3) Learn to fight terrorism like Israel…it’s dirty business and you don’t want it published on TV.

Captured American weapons??? Ha don’t make me laugh. This administration is out right supplying ISIS. The US desperately needs a war with Russia. The US/UN/EURO elitists need a war to combat the BRIC and the rest of the world that the Global Elitists of the US and EU have been raping for generations. The dollar is closer to collapsing then ever before. In order to stall a bit longer the US needs to slap Russia down and since “Chemical weapon use in Syria” and “The Ukraine Crises” failed to generate enough support then plan C is set into motion…ISIS will take Iraq and then move on to Syria forcing the Russians hand. If the Russians fail to bite then see what Dr. Paul Craig Roberts wrote a few weeks ago. The US may nuke Russia and/or China first. We are in very desperate times, I know you may not see it in your little corner of the world but something wicked this way comes.

Crazy? No! Its the insane truth.
You really need to get your head out where the sun does shine.

GSOB

goldminer

Wally. You hit the nail right on the head. Something very wicked this way comes. The US has been pushing Russia’s button since BO got in office. First we destabilized Lybia who was a trading partner with Russia using gold rather than US dollars. That did not turn out so well. They are still in a state of Civil war.
Then Syria, who is Russia’s ally. Because The Saudis want to put a pipeline to Europe to compete with the Russians. The only way there is thru Syira. Another Bloody civil war stirred up with over 150,000 dead.
Then we went in and toppled the Ukraine government because they did not want to join the EU. They wanted to remain independent. Which is a giant NO No to the EU Nazis. More civil war. Where. The government of Kiev is bombing and shelling eastern Ukraine cities. Destroying schools, hospitals, civilian homes, water supplies, and other non military targets. A civil war where twice as many civilians have been murderd than solders. All with the joyful support of the US,
The US is moving thousands of troops into eastern Europe. For what reason other than war with Russia?
I wont even go into what we are doing to provoke China in the south china sea.
Yes the US and central banks who control our country. Desperately want a war. Its good business they make lots of money off of the death of millions…. besides its a good way to control the population.

Western elite own the BRIC. Soros owns 2 trillion dollars of chinese debt. This is the ‘perpetual war’ George Orwell warned us of, where we would all be exhausted, Muslim and Christian/Westerner alike, so they could finally impose their authority (the banksters) on now-weakened nations.

It’s not America’s duty to spread democracy across the world, or to enforce UN resolutions. We shouldn’t have gotten into Iraq in the first place. And when we went to Afghanistan, we should have only gone after Al Qaeda. Who cares if the Taliban makes their women wear burkas!

piccadillybabe

In retrospect, leave Al Qaeda alone as well. These people are nothing to mess with. If we keep on doing business with the Middle East the way we are going by denouncing their humanity, we will never find peace on our shores again. What goes around comes around. Burkas are worn there just as much for sun protection than for religious reasons.

Just think of all the business this will drum up for the Military Industrialized Complex. More sales and a proving grounds for newly developed weapons. Nipping this in the bud won’t generate sales…but letting it go to get really out of control, will!

“People like you Buying things and women that are made in China”. Don’t think I have bought any women made in China. In fact, never have bought any women period for that matter. Your reply said “like you” and that is an insult and slander.

xander cross

So are you saying that you don’t buy things made in China? Are you saying that people that think like you don’t buy women from China? I mean after all, many of you conservative types have “Mail order” brides. Sorry that you fell insulted, just like how you insult black people when Michael write articles on Detroit. In fact, isn’t that picture of Michelle Obama slander? I will take by my comment and apologize to you for it. But then I wonder, will you continue to slander all black people for what goes on in cities? I guess is no.

Bruce

All I can say is your sick! We ALL buy stuff made in China (you as well) what a ridiculous statement. Nor have I ordered or bought a woman from China therefore, people who think “like me” obviously don’t always do such. So, your wrong again. However, the idea of mail order bride has been used in this country for centuries to bring couples together.
I didn’t find the picture of Michele offensive in any way. Get over it she is represenative of the POTUS and his mistakes and the sign and it’s implications was humorus to me.
Lastly, terms like conservative, liberal, right wing,etc are STUPID. What person is liberal or conservative on ALL issues. To many people and sites (even this one) use that broad brush way to often and it shows ignorance and intolerence no matter who or what entity uses those terms.

ISIS, a.k.a the Saudi Pipeline Forces are there to cut off Iran’s supply lines to Syria, then turn on Assad. The US has taken no action against them, because they are on our side. Everything going to plan so far.

xander cross

To all of you that are saying that ISIS is created by the U.S. government. Isn’t that called lying? Because none of you have evidence of it.

Undecider

The evidence is in your face. Do your research. It’s just that you refuse to believe that which you perceive as ‘your government’ is acting to your detriment. Wake up and smell the coffee. Research 9-11.

piccadillybabe

This whole weapons confisgation by ISIS is testament to how “asleep at the wheel” our operators are in Iraq. What do these special forces do when they are over there? Granted many have sacrificed their lives for their country but those in charge are clearly not doing their job or covering their bases.
The covert operations that Michael hinted at are pointing towards the fact that the US is aiding and abetting ISIS unbeknown to the special forces who are trying to aid the Iraqis.

Undecider

The US is operating according to a plan. What you are seeing here, in the big picture, was scripted several decades ago. They’ve only been able to come this far because we’ve been so ignorant.

“…Granted many have sacrificed their lives for their country….”

It’s insane to think about how the US unintentionally and at times intentionally arm the wrong group of people under Obama…we have the Gunrunner program down in Mexico with the Drug Cartels, we have the arming of insurgents in Libya and Syria and now the weapons in Iraq to ISIS. What a terrible administration.

Undecider

Nothing unintentional about. It’s all by design. The administration knows exactly what it is doing.

Iam usually a pacifist and anti war, but these people are unreasonable and the only good excuse for a full out decimation of their tribe. No prisoners.

Undecider

Who is they? The White House?

Undecider

They captured the weapons after the door to the armory was left unsecured. By design. Remember, Benghazi.

robg

This is just more problem reaction solution rhetoric. Major media outlets in uk and us are already attempting to drum up the whole terrorism in our midst again. WAKE UP PEOPLE! The powers that be want access to syria in order to destabilise the syrian regime. Isis is simply an excuse to do so.

Let us be clear the ISIS has brutally attacked civilians. Beheadings, rapes, and beatings of the innocent. They will continue to do these things unless they are stopped. War is not nice, evil must be stopped. Chamberlain was an appeaser to Hitler and look how that turned out in WWII.

We’ve given weapons to Mexican drug lords, Syrian terrorists and now we’re arming Saddam Hussein’s remnant factions. This level of incompetence has become very suspicious.

“…some of the most radical jihadists the world has ever seen.” Radical? A more nuanced description befitting the point men of the Islamic ideology would be “among the most devout and faithful Muslims to the orthodox doctrine of Islam as taught and practiced by Muhammad and promoted by the mainstream of the world’s most respected Imams today.” They are not “radical.” They are just more literal in implementing what their religion/political ideology demands.

Money is the root of evil its the cause of our division its the reason people steal commit crimes and create war. Stop using money it has been given to much power and it corrupts those who seek it self sufficiency and helping one another is what it will take to get us through what is coming. Remember control over us all is what they seek and the plan has been in play far longer than most realize.

GOOD NEWS MICHEAL:
The weapons that we left are being put to good use!
At the end of the second world war, we just pushed them off of ships into the oceans. This way our industries would not be flooded with things like jeeps.
Now the poor little Isis will not have to beg other nations to buy new weapons with our gold that we left in that bank!
Think of it this way Michael:
If Isis can overrun our Embassy in Bagdad, they can sell our eavesdropping equipment to China. Just like the Iraqi’s gave our CIA secret state of the at drone to China. Or even our new secret stealth helicopter.

hassan

these weapons were bought by the Saudis .. everybody knows that al Baghdadi is working for the CIA ,, and if you don’t know you need to do some research … this monster has slaughtered thousands of Syrian and Iraqi moslims and cristians ,,, how many Americans has this guy killed Zero

Micheal thanks for this post but stolen weapons is like hijacker passports that survive 9/11 infernos.
Or Mossad strip club goers that leave a Koran on the bar.
You know what I am saying.

these weapons were given to ISIS . We all know who ISIS is ,they didn’t just fall out of the sky .. they are crossing Turkey Jordanian borders .. the blood on ISIS hans are actually on the hands of countries who support them ..
